Disclaimer: This post may offend some Filipinos around the world as it contains many stereotypes that most Filipinos have.
1) We point directions with our lips. When you ask for something, instead of being a civilized human being and using our index to locate the general direction, we pout our lips and point it towards the direction. The higher the pout, the farther you are
3) We respect our elders with much care like disarming a bomb. You don't want to mess with your mother's friends because, oohh... you are going to get it a scolding from a Filipino mom.
Exhibit C: Females are more demure and males are usually quieter in front of older guests.
7) To converse with a Filipino, start with the three Bs.
Beauty Pageants, Basketball and/or Boxing
Exhibit F: Beauty Pageant - Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach
Exhibit G: Basketball - Steph Curry being the new record holder
Exhibit H: Boxing - Manny "Pacman" Pacquaio.
8) We smile a lot. Sometimes at wrong occasions. It's our defense mechanism to smile at awkward situations or even in stress.
9) We usually come late to a meeting. We call it Filipino time. If you set a rendezvous with Filipinos at 10 AM, expect them to come at lunch.
10) We are uber-competitive. I really don't know why.
